After day-1 of championship competition, the Wombats have a slight edge in rebounding 70 - 14 over the Squirrels.
My team is already in a 0-1 hole for the week as far as the 9 categories are concerned.

But, but, you've got TO already locked up. ;P

Played an extra PF this week cos I had to sit Westbrook. He had 3 games of which one he'd be sitting due to being a back to back. Hopefully it doesn't hurt me elsewhere.

The snake draft (yes, I'm a little behind) is the fairest if there is a consistent drop off in player value from the best to the worst. It becomes more and more unfair to the top pickers if value falls off rapidly - if a graph of player ability was a straight line with players ranked from best to worst then ability falls off consistently, if the graph curves downward sharply after the top few, then ability does not fall off consistently and the top pickers are penalized. Clearly the latter is the case, but perhaps not so strongly for the first couple of rounds.

So maybe the best draft is a snake for three or four rounds and then consistent picks for the rounds following (if you pick first, you pick first in every round after four or five). I'm guessing ESPN or Yahoo don't do that.

I am happy we're having this debate because you guys are smart and bring more perspective to the opinion I had started to form. I am ok if we stay with snake or change it to be honest because it's really subjective where the value in the draft lies, and each draft will be different so there is no one size fits all answer.
